Summary. Credit constraints significantly reduce rural farmers' decisions to enter non-farm entrepreneurship in Benin. The study identifies age and extension service access as key factors determining credit availability. Younger farmers, women, those in larger households, educated individuals, and FBO members show stronger entrepreneurship engagement. Removing credit barriers emerges as essential for enabling agricultural households to diversify into non-farm business activities.
